I'm interested in how do we create good conditions for good lives. So I think there's a lot of parallels there in terms of how we need to look at and talk about and understand both happiness and sadness and depression.
Ever wondered how sadness can actually lead to happiness? In this thought-provoking episode of 'How to be Sad', Helen Russell chats with Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute and author of 'The Little Book of Hygge'. Meik delves into his personal and professional experiences with loss and sadness, sharing profound insights on how these emotions shape our well-being.
From losing his mother at a young age to navigating professional setbacks, Meik discusses the importance of acknowledging sadness and its role in our lives. He highlights how acts of service, feeling useful, and living with less can bring unexpected joy. The conversation also touches on comparison anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the dark side of happiness. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by life's challenges, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding balance and joy amidst the gloom.
Tune in for a candid discussion that might just change how you view your own struggles.
